7 Best Cordless Trim Routers [2025 Reviews]

Featured Image: Home Depot You're comfortable with your old corded trim router. It has served you well over the years and has rounded the edges of so many workpieces you've worked on with as few hitches as possible. It has never failed you, and it's going to take a lot to pry it from your hands. But there are instances when bringing a corded compact router is not practical, such as when you are working in a remote jobsite or when the electrical outlet is too far from your work area and using an extension cord is out [...]

7 Best Standard Kohler Bathtubs & Dimensions [2025 Reviews]

Featured Image: Prime Custom Having a shower at home is great, but having a bathtub where you can soak in after a long and tiring day is like heaven on earth.

7 Best Bathroom Exhaust Fans [2025 Reviews]

Sebring Design Build There's nothing better than having a hot shower or a soak in the tub after a long and tiring day. It's relaxing and refreshing, and the steam helps unclog your pores and promotes blood circulation. But the same water that cleanses your skin and the steam that leaves you feeling refreshed can also spell doom for your bathroom. Humidity and condensation, if left unchecked, can leave annoying marks on your glass shower enclosure and other surfaces in your bathroom. A damp environment can also be a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Not only does [...]

5 Best Digital Multimeters [2025 Reviews]

It has been around for nearly fifty years, and each iteration seems to be better than the last. Early digital multimeters don't seem to be much different from analog multimeters (except for the scale and the needle) because they also use manual ranging function. But today's multimeters are easier to use thanks to their auto-ranging function, large digital display, backlight, and a ton of other useful features. You can use it to [...]

7 Best Work Gloves [2025 Reviews]

Featured Image: Glove Tacts Our hands can accomplish and create anything. We feed ourselves, keep our bodies clean, and take care of other people with our hands. Without our hands, there would be no tables, houses, bridges, cities, music or art. But we seldom think about protecting our hands or treating them better until we are injured or when illness sets in. In 2015 alone, 143,900 nonfatal hand injuries were recorded by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many of these accidents could have been prevented by wearing the right work gloves. Work gloves are some of the [...]

7 Best Sawhorses [2025 Reviews]

Featured Image: eBay.com The sawhorse is one of those workshop must-haves that is prized for its versatility.

They can also be used as a scaffold or a drying rack. Sawhorses used to be made exclusively of wood. The design back then was pretty basic, and all you needed to build one was some pieces of wood and power tools. But these days, [...]

7 Best Wood Routers [2025 Reviews]

Featured Image: Makita The sheer brute strength of a circular or table saw can cut even the toughest piece of hardwood in your workshop. But sometimes brute strength is not enough, and there are some things that these power saws just can't do. If you want to add some grooves, intricate edges, and other designs to a workpiece, then you definitely need a tool called a router. Any woodworker worth his salt owns one or more wood routers. Their main role in the workshop is to trim and smooth the rough edges of a piece of wood, but [...]
